Comedian Tanmay Bhat and Samay Raina’s ad campaign for Kotak Mahindra Bank has been dropped after old tweets of Bhat joking about Lord Ganesha surfaced online. Several people took offence to the comedian’s old jokes and tagged Kotak Mahindra Bank on Twitter. They demanded that the campaign be pulled.

The bank finally apologised for associating with Bhat. ‘We, at Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd. do not support or endorse the views of actors made in their personal capacity that harm or offend any individual or group. We have withdrawn the campaign,’ they wrote on their official Twitter handle.

Tanmay Bhat is yet to respond to the allegations.
The comedian has been involved in a controversy in the past as well. During the #MeToo movement, it was alleged that he failed to take action after complaints were made against a collaborator at the now-defunt AIB comedy collective. AIB had also faced FIRs for their controversial roast of actors Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh.


Tanmay Bhat has also been critcised for making fun of Lata Mangeshkar, and legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.
